Restaurants in Oswego

“Wife and I ate here for the first time today. Absolutely delicious. Will be back many more times. Best burger in the area by a LONG shot. So many options. Delicious toppings. Sidewinder fries are great. Service was excellent and friendly. Cherry empanada dessert was delicious 🤤”

“We walked in off the street, didn't expect much but we were absolutely blown away by the environment, the service and the layout of the establishment. The Philly cheesesteak sandwich with au jus and the breaded chicken tenders blew our mind. Our bartender was Ashley, she gave us impeccable service engaging and even when she wasn't there, every other bartender was very engaging and attentive. I don't know why this place is not packed at all times. I've reviewed hundreds of places around the world and this is one of my favorites.”

“our party of 4 was seated right away, and we ordered and had our food within 5 minutes. Food & service were excellent !”

“We held our daughter's engagement party at Neat on Saturday night - and we were so very pleased. The staff was absolutely amazing, the room was beautiful and the food was delicious! I can’t thank their team enough!!”

“the food is bright clean and fresh. very satisfying and I will definitely be back”

“Ordered from the Oswego location and it was amazing! Will be back often!”

“I would say stick to the wings. we tried to pizza which was not cheap and it was so thick the middle of the pizza was super doughy. Pretty upset as i wpuld have just got more wings or tried something else”

“Great tacos! Talk about Mexican style tacos, the cabeza and pastor are awesome! The horchata is pretty good. Salsas are decent and place is a good size.”

“The waiter is always welcoming and friendly, he always recognizes my husbands and I and no matter if he’s going to be our waiter or not he always gets our drinks I hate that u don’t remember his name but he’s very tall skinny white man”

“This place has the best food and friendly atmosphere. A++++”

“been eating here since they opened one of the best places for food in Oswego”

“Great food & great service!!!”

“This is my favorite Olive Garden!! Food is always good and the service is excellent!”

“Love this spot! I'm a fan of the wine, the atmosphere, and the people running the place! Perfect location right in the heart of downtown. They often have live music. And if you're not into wine, they have got you covered. They have beer too, and often have a local craft brew option or two available.”

“Our server, Katlin was great. The ambience was nice. Nice modern decor. Music in the background, but still able to talk to each other at your table. My burger was great! I had the California burger. Very tasty, juicy and made well. Fries were not over cooked or over salted. This was a place I was going to pass on, but I am so glad I didn’t.”

“My bestie and I have fallen in love with the atmosphere, the amazing food and delicious fall coffee flavors!! ♥️ Highly recommend the maple cinnamon cold brew as well as the blackberry. Baristas were great as well! A gem for Oswego.”

“Stopped by this place for bubble tea. Conveniently located close to Oakton Community College's Skokie campus!”

“The Village Grind is such a hidden gem in Oswego! The buttercream drip coffee is absolutely incredible—smooth, sweet, and the perfect pick-me-up. Their breakfast sandwich was equally delicious and made fresh to order. The cozy vibe and friendly staff make it a spot you’ll want to keep coming back to. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a local favorite!”

“todo muy bien, excelente!!”

“Great food, good rotating menu and very friendly staff”

“Was at the rustic fox today. Purchased the gf chocolate chip cookies. They were delicious. However the owner who was selling them was on the phone the entire time. Had to ask how much the cookies were. He said what kind of gf cookie was it then gave me the price. I purchased the cookies. He couldn’t even say thank you since he was on the phone. I thought that was pretty rude. Poor customer service”

“The 9.99 yumm deal was a deal. Really good value for the money. But what made my experience better and motivated me to actually take the time to do a review was the exceptional service I got from Tina at the Oswego location. She was very pleasant and was on top of everything and anything we needed. Our table really enjoyed our lunch.”

“We love this place! Quality custard, a good variety of toppings, and friendly service.”

“Our server was very nice and the food was delicious as always. I had the garlic French dip with tater tots and my son had the triple decker grilled cheese. Great flavor.”

“We come to Dosbros on 71 in oswego probably 2x week, 5 star+ PEROID!you walk into an establishment so clean you can literally eat off the floor! The man always behind the counter Mano is always there ,never see anyone else. You never know if he is having a bad day because he always smiles and is extremely polite,he s proud of what he serves. The food- we always get the bowls! Freshly made in front of you, several great options, for what you pay you can get 2 meals out of 1 bowl they are that big!for the picky people that say the food is cold- well use your brain!!when you add cold toppings such as sour cream, cheese etc...put 2and 2 together!, when we get our food to go and only travel 5 minutes from there, the food is still fresh and the meat and such is the perfect eating temperature!overall we support this establishment and want to pass the word out to the community and see it keep going strong.”

“Pastor burrito was a fantastically greasy, savory indulgence. Very pleased they gave us plenty of salsa in bottles to use generously on all the food, that's A+ for a Mexican restaurant. Tortilla chips were a little thicker than I prefer, but overall a satisfying meal.

Would definitely consider coming back if I'm ever in the area, but probably wouldn't go out of my way - just a little too pricey for the portion. But they have plenty of options on the menu, so I'm open to it.

I shan't levy my Indiana prejudices against the higher pricing of Illinois at the door of Mi Rancho, but I'd be hard pressed to pay more than $12 for a burrito dinner again, even in this economy.”

“Everything I have had so far here tastes great, and the staff is quite friendly! The prices are a bit high ($8 for a milkshake?), but I suppose that's the price you pay for a qualoty, ice cream joint. I will say they are good about packing scoops into cups if you take something to go.”

“Had a cup of the homemade chili and a phenomenal bacon cheeseburger the day after thanksgiving for lunch. Holly and Dawn are always attentive and pour great mixed drinks. Love the Inn!!”

“I LOVE Scooters Coffee & I LOVE this new location the most. Shrey has been at the window several times for my order and is super nice, welcoming and gives great convos. It’s a good way to start my day. Let’s get into the coffee! It’s always done correctly! Very consistent which is usually hard with a new store! My Oreo blenders with extra coffee will only be purchased here!! ❤️‍🔥🫶🏽 thank you team!”

“freaking love this place”

“Delicious food and great service”

“First time eating here. Found out they had gluten free options. I ordered the lemon shrimp scampi with gluten free noodles. Everything about this dish was over the top. Noodles were cooked perfectly, you could see the parmasan cheese and fresh herbs in sauce. Shrimp not overcooked. I devoured it.
I will so much be back.”

“I had such a fantastic breakfast experience at IHOP, thanks to Shelly and her wonderful team. From the moment I walked in, Shelly’s warm welcome set the tone for the visit. She checked in several times throughout the meal to make sure everything was perfect.

The service was quick and friendly, and the food was outstanding—fresh, hot, and full of flavor. My pancakes were light and fluffy, the eggs cooked just right. The steak omelette was just as i remembered when I use to come
as a kid. Everything tasted as if it had just come off the griddle.

The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making it the perfect place to start the day. Between the attentive service, fresh food, and Shelly’s personal touch, this visit really stood out. I’ll definitely be coming back for more mornings like this!”

“Not sure why I didn't try this earlier. Instantly became my new favorite restaurant. The few things they do, they do really well. Chicken is always tender and juicy. If you're not big on coleslaw, trade it for an extra bread and then thank me later.”

“clean and friendly. good food”

“The facilities are very nice and clean. Some of the staff are kind and answer any questions you may have. I love all the promotions they offer and would recommend Lacey's to anyone looking to have a fun time!”

“Great, authentic food and drinks with friendly service!”

“This place is delicious They have a large array of items and are the sweetest!! Everything was so good Go get some!!”

“being first generation Italian you need to know I'm a picky eater especially when it comes to pizza & pasts. This is our new go to place, it tastes just as good as mine & the gnocchi make my knees shake! heaven! I recently found out I have cancer thank God at least well have good food to eat! Trust me this place is what italian cooking is all about!”

“It was great . Servers were fantastic 😊 My oldest son took me there for my birthday dinner 🎂The food was delicious large portions and my 12 oz ribeye was prepared to perfection. I've been to Longhorn several times and never,ever disappointed ☺️👍🏾”

“Got the twice cooked pork (323), and it was wonderful! They were super fast. Food was hot and fresh. Will be returning!”

“Awesome food, and Free chips and salsa, when you sign up!”

“We decided to order from Culver’s tonight to contribute to the fundraiser for LWC. We ordered on the app to make to faster. When we arrived at the restaurant there were cars everywhere! It was crazy. We couldn’t even get close to the area for pre orders. We sat there in the long line, and my phone rang. It was one of the kids that works there asking us if we were there and what car we were in. I felt bad having him walk all the way out to our car, we were pretty far from the restaurant and it was snowing kind of hard. But the young man came out to our car with our order. He had a huge smile on his face and apologized we had to wait! I was very impressed with him, and wish I would have gotten his name. These poor kids trying to direct traffic and run orders and all with smiles on their faces. The managers should be very proud of this crew!”

“Great place!! Owner and all employees are the BEST!! 🥳”

“Normally don't visit places like this but was looking for a quick cup of coffee. The place is really cozy and the staff was incredibly warm and welcoming! Even if you don't play the slots it's a nice place to sit and chat!”

“My work ordered this pizza the other night and I think it’s the most delicious pizza I’ve ever eaten.”

“I've been going to Mason Wok for years now. Their egg rolls, crab rangoons, and fried rice are to die for. I've never had anything better yet. It's a shame they got rid of the crab rangoons from their lunch special though. Their orange chicken is very good as well when it's fresh but it can be a bit overcooked from time to time. Overall, still a great experience and a great go-to whenever you get the Chinese takeout urge. You can't go wrong.”

“Clean restaurant, super friendly staff (11/15 am shift) and they have books and coloring supplies. Such an above and beyond gesture.
Food was slow but delicious!”

“One of my favorite michocana locations!
Always clean and the lady is always nice!
The Elote in a cup is always filled up good! They always layer it twice 😁😁”

“Ordered a deep dish with sausage it was very filling with a thick crust. Sauce was mild and sausage was lightly spiced. Cheese was plentiful and generous. One slice was enough two was very filling. A good pizza.”

“pd;s The place to go for a nice quiet drink. Great bartender, really knows how to make a good Bloody Mary. Located in Oswego ,Il. at Mason Square.”

“Ordered at the drive thru and took it home. Beef was awesome. One large fry is enough for 2+ people. Very impressed. Dare to say one of the best beef sandwiches I’ve had in a long time. Will go back for sure.”

“DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. HORRIBLE SERVICE, AND THEY CHARGE AND MAKE YOU PAY FOR ITEMS YOU DIDN'T NOT ODER. MANAGERS ARE RUDE!! DON'T SPEND YOUR MONEY HERE. LOST 25$ AND GOT NO FOOD. WAY BETTER PLACES WITH BETTER SERVICE!!”

“Nathan made me #13 that was out of this world! Great service! Highly recommend!”

“Not sure why it’s taken me so long to write a review. My husband and I have been coming here for years. The food and the margaritas are great; but we keep coming back because the staff are AMAZING. Much love to Ricky, Jerry, and the crew.”
